It's a slice of life kind of movie. It's gentle and not much happens, but this film is far better than most of that type. Here, I found the characters interesting, perhaps because they're Ukrainian, so their lives are sufficiently different from Americans? But their lives are not really that different from Americans! The three leads are people we care about, and I think that makes all the difference. This is a wonderful film released just before the country in which it was filmed was destroyed.
